For me this self-confidence comes from taking care of myself, either the day of the event or the night before. To prepare for my Summer Ball this year i had the whole day to myself to pamper myself. I realise not everyone has nothing to with their life so thats why it could be done the night before the event.
Prep: I like to start off with collecting everything i need for my pamper evening so i don't have to worry about finding things and so i know all of the steps that i am going to go through in that pamper session.
Things you will need:
- Bath Bomb/Bubble Bath
- Face Mask
- Book
- Razor
- Soap
- Body Butter
- Moisturiser
- Fake Tan
- Hair Mask
- Shampoo
- Nail Varnish
- Hair Oil/Leave-in product
- A Nice Beverage
- Favorite Comfy Clothes
Step 1: After i have got everything together, i start to run my bath and put in a bath bomb or bubble bath depending on what i have. I find a bath is the best way to relax and de-stress before you start to get ready.
Step 2: Whilst my bath is running i put on my face mask, place my book near the bath and put all of the products i am going to use around the bath so that they are easily available whilst i am in the bath. Also put your beverage of choice by the bath. As i am over the legal age to drink i usually like a glass of wine but if you are not old enough to drink i would recommend something like elderflower cordial with water and ice as it is delicious.
Step 3: If you use a hair mask which can be used on dry hair skip this step. However if you have a hair mask which needs to be used on wet hair, use a shower to wash your hair with shampoo, or the sink if you are already running your bath.
Step 4: Get in the bath once it has finished running and relax. This is the time when i will shave my legs as it is much easier than doing it in the shower. Also i like to use my favourite bath products to make my skin smell lovely such as, at the moment, i am using Rose Jam shower gel from Lush and then after that i like to use the Ro Argan's Body Conditioner which is also from Lush. When i have it, i also like to use the shower smoothie called Turkish Delight from Lush as they all have a similar smell and it makes your skin so soft after using them all together. If i would give any tip in this step it would be to use scents which are similar as it will make the scent stronger and they won't clash.
Step 5: read pages of your book and relax until your bath goes cold or until your get bored.
Step 6: once you have finished in the bath, wash off your face mask in the sink and use the shower to wash off your hair mask.
Step 7: Dry yourself off and now it is time for your leave-in hair product such as a hair oil and to moisturise your body. I like to use one of The Body Shop body butters but it is totally up to you what you used based on the products that you have.
Step 8: OPTIONAL STEP: FAKE TAN - i like to use fake tan before i attend an event such as a ball and i like to use a spray tan like the Garnier dry body mist or a gradual tan such as the St Tropez one or the Dove summer glow one. The dove one is a lot cheaper and tends to be on offer. If you use a gradual tan you do not need to moisturise before as they have a moisturiser built in. i say this optional because you shouldn't feel like you should be tanned, to be honest i don't always do this step.
Step 9: once your moisturiser or fake tan has dried a bit, put on your comfy clothes and paint your nails in a colour which goes with your outfit, only you can decide on this colour. This is a step which you could do with friends and have a really girly time before the prom/ball.
Step 10: Go to bed if you are doing this the night before you have your Prom or Ball and if it is the same day start to get ready and do your make-up.
This is my usual pamper session before an exciting evening out and i have tried and tested it so i can tell you it works. Not only is it good before a night out but it can be adapted to be part of a weekly routine. I like to have pamper evening at least once a week because it makes me feel good about myself and helps me to de-stress and forget the problems in my life.
Enjoy your lovely pamper session xx
